Slow-Roasted Pork Shoulder with Keto Sides
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request omission of all high-carb sides (rice, beans, plantains, potatoes). About 3g net carbs per serving, lower than 8 in 10 Dominican dishes.
What it is
Tender, succulent pork shoulder marinated in a flavorful blend of garlic, oregano, sour orange juice, and spices, slow-roasted to achieve a crispy skin and juicy interior. Traditionally served with rice and beans, but here explicitly offered with low-carb alternatives.
Key ingredients
Pork shoulder, garlic, oregano, sour orange juice (or lime/lemon), olive oil, salt, pepper. Keto sides such as sautéed green beans, steamed broccoli, or sliced avocado.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request omission of all high-carb sides (rice, beans, plantains, potatoes). Ask for keto-friendly vegetable sides or avocado. Ensure no sugary glazes are applied to the pork.
Watch out for
Marinades can sometimes contain a very small amount of sugar (negligible in a large roast). Hidden sugars in any accompanying sauces if not specified. Restaurant oil choices (avoiding hydrogenated oils).
